When sarada's breathing got more steady , sakura got up and went to her office , she came back with medical kit, she pulled out a needle.
''what's that for?'' asked sasuke.
''I need to sedate her so I could examine her''
Sasuke raised a brow.
''her teammates told me that she disappeared for a day during the mission , they were about to call for an inuzuka for help but she showed up pretty shaken, and she didn't get her protocol after mission exam.''
She said as she flipped sarada over and removed her jacket , the bruise on her neck was made clear then , but sakura ignored it and moved her so she could remove her shirt. She felt thick bandages under it , she removed the red shirt and was met by bloody bandages covering her upper body.
''god'' said sakura as sasuke got closer to her.
Sakura positioned her hands so she could slice open the bandges but she hesitated, after a couple of seconds she sliced them open.
Red, blue and black met sasuke's eyes , her whole stomach was covered with these colors , her arms were covered with cuts, their were trails of red trailing to her back, sakura turned her over , careful for her bruises , what she saw made her fall on her knees.
Angry red lines covered the girl's back , they looked like they were caused by a belt , sakura was still , but sasuke was shaking with anger.
'' did they mention what happened to the guy who ambushed them''
sakura got back on her feet ''they said that sarada came back to them with him dead.''
Sasuke calmed down a little relieved that at least she got her revenge .
''her right arm is broken , but she was moving it normally moments ago'' she said as she searched the pockets in her jackets , she pulled out a bottle filled with pills.
''shit , sarada''
''what are they?''
'' extreme pain killers, they can even numb the pain on her back , and she reeks of alcohol so she probably gotten drunk too.''
She started healing her back first .
''these aren't going to fade completely''
She finished healing her back and moved to her stomach.
''do you think'' she started ''that he…'', it was too horrible to say.
''no'' sasuke answered quickly ,''she wouldn't let him''
Sakura looked at him then , tears pooling her eyes , but sasuke gaze didn't break, she smiled a small smile .
''you're right''
After sakura finished with her upper body , she moved to her lower body, everything was okay , to her parents relief ,she had only a sprained ankle.
Sakura tidied up her gear and laid down next to sarada to hug her while she slept , sasuke sat at the chair next to her bed and laid his head down on the bed.
Sarada pov.
I woke up warm, mama was holding me tightly to her while she slept, my head hurt , I raised my arm and put it on my forehead , I groaned from the pain , so this is a hangover headache.
My thoughts got interrupted when a confronting chakra was on my forehead , I leaned into it, her other hand was rubbing circles on my back , wait , the pain killers should have worn out by now , why aren't I feeling any pain? Unless…
I gasped and pulled away from her , I couldn't take a breath , they saw them , I felt a hand on my shoulder ,papa , he was looking at my eyes.
''turn it off'' he was refering to my sharingan, I turned it off.
I sat up straight and looked around , I was in my room, everything is how I left it.
''hey sarada you okay?'' mama asked , she had a worried look on her face.
I nodded.
''why don't you go take a shower , while I go make you something to eat?''
I nodded again and stood up , I was shaky on my feet but I managed, mama handed me clothes and guided me to the bathroom, she kissed my forehead before I entered, I really scared her yesterday.
I took my shirt off , I looked at my stomach nothing was there , I put my hands on my back ,I felt scars , my ankle was fine also.
I finished my shower and went down stairs, and sat at the table, papa put a plate of tomatoes in front me .
''I'm not that tired papa''
He smiled '' I had to try''
I smiled back.
In the entire world only papa can cheer me up in these situations not even boruto can.
Mama put a plate of scrambled eggs in front of me .
''thanks'' I muttered .
She sat across from me , and papa was sitting next to me like usual, when I finished I washed my plate and sat on the living room couch , my cell was on the table , right where I put it before I left, I grabbed it , there were 4 missed calls from chou-chou and 12 messages , mitsuki called 2 times , knowing that if I wanted to talk to him I would have called him, and one message from boruto
' hey , if you read this message, please go home, whatever happened we will fix it together okay?'
He's so sweet, I should call mitsuki and chou-chou but I wasn't in the mood to talk , so I texted them that I'm fine and just tired.
Mama and papa both sat beside me so I was in the middle, time for the talk.
''sarada, where were you yesterday?''
''I was in the training field''
''only the training field?''
She was on to me , I didn't want her to know about me drinking but of course she would notice.
''and I went to the pub after''
''and how much did you drink?'' I didn't want them to ask me these questions but it's better than asking about the mission.
''some scotch and bourbon'' I discovered I like whiskey the night before .
''and where did you go after that?''
''I wanted to go to boruto's , but I was dizzy so I rested a little on the path there , when I felt like I could walk I got to boruto's house and he got me here''
''and why did you go to boruto''s place?'' that was papa's voice.
''cause-cause, I wanted to erase his trace on me'' I put my face in my hands then and felt there hands on me .
''do you want to know what happened in the mission?''
They nodded
''then can you get boruto here cause I can't say it two times''
''sure sara-chan'' mama said as she grabbed the phone.
Ten minutes later boruto's blue eyes were looking at mine.
'' hi sasa'' he said with a smile, yesterday he saw a side of me he has never seen before, I smiled back
''boruto''
He moved to sit next to me.
''no, all of you sit on the other couch'' this is hard enough as it is.
They gave me strange looks but they obeyed.
I took a deep breath and started.
